      Millions of people are about to go hungry or even starve even though they live in one of the richest countries on Earth. Eventually, hungry people will shoplift to stay alive. Food is cheap enough where shoplifters will only get a misdemeanor, not a felony. So it is not likely that the shoplifters will face much in the way of consequences. In some states, where people charged with misdemeanors can get jury trials, they can try to get sympathy, especially if they really don’t have money to buy food otherwise.

    2. Looks like we’re bringing back the soup lines. Make America Great Depression Again.

      Hopefully this image follows this administration to its demise.
